Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy Pain

By Donna Stark

Pregnancy is one of the most amazing things a person can go through, but underneath all the smiles and belly rubs, lie some of the worst aches and pains a body can experience. From head pain to back pain to hip pain, that ever-growing belly can really start to become quite disruptive! The good news, though, is that this discomfort is only temporary and that relief can be found right away. If you are pregnant and are struggling with painful days, head on in to see your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic!

Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy Pain

If there is one thing to know for sure while you are pregnant it's that you don't have to settle with those aches and pains! Chiropractic care is an effective and gentle approach for the treatment of pain issues that pop up during pregnancies, but more importantly, it's also a safe approach! It avoids the use of prescription medications and invasive procedures, so you can rest assured knowing that both you and your baby are in good hands. Take a look at a few of the pain issues the chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic treat.

Head pain - Pregnancy is an exciting time for all but it's also a very stressful time, and we're not just talking about mental stress. The muscles in your neck and back are going to be under additional strain as soon as your belly starts to grow which can lead to headaches or trigger migraines. And those awkward sleep positions you will soon be finding yourself in aren't going to help either. Your chiropractor can help you find relief by providing adjustments that relax the body, reduce stress, and improve sleep.

Back pain - With each passing day, your baby (or babies) are growing and gaining weight which means your spine and joints are going to be put to work! Excess weight and imbalance can lead to stress and strain on your back. Chiropractic adjustments will ease these problems and alleviate any pain by correcting your body's alignment and removing joint dysfunction.

Hip pain - If the extra weight you are carrying really wants to create some problems, it knows exactly what to do. It will pull your body out of alignment. And if your body is out of alignment, the sciatic nerve can become irritated which will cause a tremendous amount of pain to travel through your hips. If you are experiencing pain that radiates through your hips and into your legs, don't worry! Your chiropractor will be able to get you back on the path to pain-free days with quick, precise, and effective adjustments.
